The "organic" craze is completely baffling. Like, yes, shit is organic, it's also filled with a ton of pathogens that can kill you - a shitton, even! Although I stick to composting food scraps and yard waste, when I read abo

Per Reddit: "One is a high powered assassin whose livelihood depends on his ability to rationalize beyond emotion to calculate the cost of a life. The other guy is still alive." Edit: I would love to make $20/minute every da

The word "firefox" appears in the article once. The rest is AI, "rebranding", and "buy our merch." If Mozilla ceases doing anything it would be an improvement. Their #1 priority right now should be making s

Knowing that stuff like this happens really makes you appreciate how humanity managed to survive this long. If thrown into the preindustrial past, I would miss temperature control, refrigeration, and the Internet MUCH less than vaccines, a

Besides clearly being outdated guidance (see election 2024 + "substack is the new journalism"), not even "unbiased" journalism is merely a bland recitation of facts, and there's a world of difference between that, a

Every time Ed Zitron is mentioned on this site someone shows up with a hateboner, it's getting super old. Everyone has a bias, it's not a crime to let it show. I know it's Silicon Valley's dream to flatten all human expe

So you think that legacy media is behind this because if they could just get that pesky social media banned, those kids would shell out their allowance money to The Economist or The Washington Post? Do you know what Overwatch is? Minecraft
